Backloggery

|

I have been tossing around the idea of making a complete-as-I-can-remember list of all games I have finished (seen credits, etc) over the years. I finally got down to it while bored at work and starting jotting down the names of the games I had finished in my phone. After gathering quite a big list from the depths of my memory, from Commodore 64 and the Amiga, all the way up to PS3/PC games of today. I pitched my idea to fydo on IRC. He promptly said that he had already done such a list, and pointed me towards backloggery.com which is just the place to keep track of all this.

The site allows you to add games and set a status for them. “Playing”, or “Wish list” as well as “unfinished”, “beaten”, “completed”, or “mastered”. I added the games I’m playing now (Left 4 Dead and Quake 3 Arena in LIVE form), and got to adding all the games I had written down in my phone.

This is a pretty cool idea in my opinion, much better than the plan I had to just add it to here in a table. :P

Anyways, check out my profile if you’re willing to give in to the reality that I am better at games than you.

Some ones of note that I’m sort-of proud of:

  • Half-Life 2: Episode 2 (all achievements done, rocket man, 333 grubs, etc)
  • Little Big Planet (all levels 100% complete, Kyle and I did this together)

Some ones of note that stick out as incredible games (for their time, or even now):

  • MDK II (So fun, I have finished it many times)
  • Quake III Arena (Rocket Arena III, oh how I loved thee)
  • Left 4 Dead (incredible gameplay, funnest co-op game ever made)
  • Rollcage II (the first racing game with a puzzle mode that I played, changed the way I look at racing games forever)
  • Syndicate (Open style play, mass violence, and the first game with an “active city”. Like GTA3, but very old)
  • Serious Sam Series (Intense co-op play, one of the best lan games there is to this day)
  • Trackmania Series (best racing games ever made.. hands down)
